Hey big brother,

you've gone on a lot of dates, gone through a good number of girls. Pretty sure you've sexted online with a stranger who has yet to show a photo of themselves (but you've accidentally showed them yours) before. So tell me: how do you tell whether they are beautiful, charming rainbow fish or dirty, bottom-feeding, groveling catfish?

summergirl98: ok now that you've seen my picture I think you'd feel obligated to show me yours, and before u say anything, please let your mind speak before your dick

luckyguy96: well before we get into that

luckyguy96: sorry about the jerking off comment

summergirl98: really? because it's far from your worse

luckyguy96: well u left the chat, and I guess I realised I'd rather continue talking to you rather than throw around clever comments at the wrong time

summergirl98: I'm sorry, but it sounds to me as if you're saying that you're capable of sincerity

luckyguy96: I think you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised

summergirl98: and they aren't very clever

luckyguy96: chatterbox just makes it too easy for guys to get away with this sort of stuff

luckyguy96: y'know, things we can't really say in real life

sunmergirl98: well at least that sounds honest. Now back to my original point of showing me a picture of you. Is the answer yes?

luckyguy96: Nah

summergirl98: and what if I accuse you of being a catfish?

luckyguy96: hahahaha

summergirl98: So you are one?!

luckyguy96 has sent a picture!

summergirl98: ok, eww? That's just a picture showing way too much of some guys body.

luckyguy96: A virile, fit, definitely not a 40-year-old catfish body.

summergirl98: and how can u prove that what you're saying is true?

luckyguy96: how can you prove that what you've said is true?

summergirl98: one second getting snickers

luckyguy96: do you honestly think I'm a 40-year-old creep?

summergirl98: I've just watched 2 episodes of Catfish and you fit the description of one pretty well.

luckyguy96 has sent a picture!

summergirl98: hahaha very funny

summergirl98 has sent a picture!

summergirl98: well, it seems like you're Gareth Olson, I'm Jennifer Lawrence and we're the most bangable internet couple ever.

luckyguy96: I'd bang you over Jennifer Lawrence ;)
